    So long story short, was hoping to do something wynncraft related for halloween with my girlfriend who plays this game (and loves it) and she had plans for this year. So she is working on a Qira costume for 2018, and needs as much as we know of the following:

    - Lore and personality of Qira
    - Lore and personality of Gale
    - Relationship between Qira & Gale
    - The Hive's layout and lore
    - Relationship between Gales & Ohms
    - Layout & details on Gale's grave site
    - Gale's appearance
    - Qira's appearance
    - Qira's Weapon and magic abilities
    - Hive monsters types and designs
    - Qira's giant spider and drones

    Will post my own findings, but need a refresher lore wise and hope y'all can help. Thanks so much!

    Any links to any threads full of info are greatly appreciated!

    Gale is very nice, as she claps for you when you defeat her.
    Qira is not so nice. She has an obvious liking to bugs, hence the Hive and the giant spider in her battle room.

    I dont want to mess up his girlfriends project by throwing out speculation and theories about Qira, so I'm just going for facts.

    Theory or not, you still did a lot of research into Qira to back up your theories, which still makes you head man

    Thanks so much, she so far read the first link and finds it interesting.

    I'll also be making follow up ones becuase she's also designing a ToA/True Death costume for me. Or as time goes on we go as Gale and Ohms if that 1.17 update contains Ohms in it and it sounds good.

    Right,I have a couple of half-theories on Qira and the Hive, which I haven't got round to making full threads on yet.
    I also have a suggestion for another thing you can look into:
    Relationship with the villagers in the Hive (Yansur and the Hive Shop merchants)

    1) Qira's species.
    Qira is obviously a spider, but the use of 'Hive' implies bees, so I believe Qira is the queen of a colony of arachnids with a similar social structure to bees. Now, in the main chamber of the Hive, we see 'scuttlers', 'dronelings' and 'young hive drones'. Now, a drone is a male. We don't see any young females. My idea is that the scuttlers are newborns, the main entrance chamber being essentially an open nursery. Qira lets the males grow up, and they become Hive drones, eventually learning elemental specialities, and then they're fully grown, and make up Qira's basic workforce and mates. The females are a different story. Qira, or the drones, kill young females so that they cannot grow up past the 'scuttler' stage. This is where the final mob of the Hive comes in. Deep in the caves of the Hive, we find 'Rogue Hive Broody' mobs, these being much more powerful than most other mobs. A 'broody' is a female - and the fact they only come so far away is telling. These are the few females who have survived long enough to grow up partially. If left long enough, they would end up like Qira, although she sometimes does a pass over the caves and stops this from happening. If Qira were to leave, the broodies would grow up and compete to become the new mistress of the Hive.

    2) Qira's creations
    We know that Qira created the creatures found in the Hive floors. But what if her creations go farther than this? In Beyond the Grave, Krolton is referred to as a 'creation'. This is a little strange, as it appears just to be a powerful magical creature. However, there is a known being in the canyon nearby, who is known to create magical creatures and has little concern for the safety of villagers. It's possible that Krolton escaped from the Hive, but Qira would surely be able and willing to bring it back, as it is very powerful and would be an asset to her army. My hypothesis is that Qira simply left him there for her own reasons - as a defence measure for the War of the Realms. She intends it to block the progress of (probably the Eye) across the Canyon of the Lost. There could be more clues. Throughout the Canyon, there are strange animal hybrids, commented on by a Thesead citizen before his dialugue changes to be about the airship crash after The Hidden City. This is odd, as they're not found elsewhere, and there doesn't seem to be an explanation for them. My idea is that they were among Qira's early experiments, that she later abandoned. It's telling that the Thunder division are called 'some of Qira's earliest successes' by Yansur, implying previous failures. It's entirely possible that a lot of the creatures in Gavel were created by Qira, which could explain Yansur's curious after-quest dialogue, calling Qira 'magical creator of Gavel'. There are some creatures that may be to do with Qira, in particular the Gerts, who only live very close to the hive, are linked to an element (Earth) and only started causing trouble 200 years ago. It may also be why the flashback in Taproot contains many mundane animals but ver few magical ones.
